Asterisk, FreePBX, mISDN (BRI b410p card)

[allywilson]

Ok, after like 3 days of playing around with a spare server and asterisk. I've finally been able to get it all working. As it was such a task (i nearly cried. A lot.), I thought I'd give you the lowdown on how to do it if you've got a similar setup/problem.

OK, get yourself a copy of Asterisk@Home (

http://www.pbx4pros.com/)

burn it to disc.

It'll run through the setup of the server automatically (rebooting a few times as it compiles mySQL / Asterisk / whatever after installing linux to the harddrive).

To gain access:
Username: root
Password: password

Web interface:

http://XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX

Username: maint
Password: password (this does not work. Still trying to find out what it is).

To change the password just login as root at the CLI, and punch in: "passwd-maint" - it'll ask you to put in your new password.
(THIS DOES NOT WORK EITHER!)
So...

Edit: /etc/amportal.conf
Find the line: "AUTHTYPE=database" and change it to: "AUTHTYPE=none"

Then run: "/usr/src/freepbx/apply_conf.sh" and you'll be able to get into the control panel without authenticating.


To setup the BRI card (we have a b410p) trying to use mISDN.

Go to: /usr/src/asterisk/channels/misdn
type: make misdn

go to: /usr/src/asterisk
type: make install

Go to: /etc/init.d
Type: misdn-init scan (Make sure it detects your card.)

type: misdn-init config
Make sure it creates the misdn.conf file.

type: misdn-init start
Check to make sure the lights are on the BRI card (b410p).

We also found that: /usr/etc/asterisk/misdn.conf didn't exist. So we made the following one:

[general]
misdn_init=/etc/misdn-init.conf
debug=0
stop_tone_after_first_digit=yes
bridging=no

[default]
context=foobar
allowed_bearers=all
nationalprefix=0
internationalprefix=00
rxgain=0
txgain=0

echotraining=no
echocancel=yes

pmp_l1_check=yes
method=standard
dialplan=0
localdialplan=0
cpndialplan=0
early_bconnect=yes
always_immediate=no
immediate=no
hdlc=yes

[isdn]
ports=1ptp,2ptp,3ptp,4ptp
#ports=4ptmp
context=default
msns=*



...and then just save it to "/usr/etc/asterisk/misdn.conf"

Still having a strange problem of asterisk loading before mISDN modules. So current manual workaround is:

type: misdn-init start
type: asterisk -r
type: restart gracefully


Should be all good now. If anyone has anything further to add (or if they can point out anything wrong) - please feel free
